Poor graphics redraw when scrolling Word documents

I have a strange blurring effect when scrolling Word documents on my Macbook pro, as if the graphic card had trouble refreshing: the screen is interspersed by horizontal irregular lines that make it impossible to read the text.
I have recently replaced the logic board. Anyone has an idea of what this could be?
Thank you for the help!

I've only seen this in Word, and only in Page Layout view. It does not occur in Notebook view (although there are other stability issues with that view). At the moment I'm working on a 125 page document that I am writing, and scrolling through there are no problems.

  • Error when importing Word document

    I am having a problem importing a Word document. This is the
    first time I have experienced the problem.
    Partway through the import (it appears to be attempting to
    open the Word document) I get a message:
    A file error has occurred.
    Try one or more of the following:
    *Check the disk drive to make sure the disk is properly
    inserted
    *Check the disk or the disk drive to make sure there is not a
    hardware problem
    *Check the network connections.
    Things I have tried:
    1. Reboot of the machine that has both RoboDemo (V5) and the
    Word document.
    2. Renaming the Word document to something with a shorter
    name.
    3. Taking out large sections of the document and then
    retrying. Repeat until the document is empty.
    I have searched this forum as well as the general web for any
    information. Help! I'm on a tight deadline and I just can't kill
    any more time screwing around with this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarah-Jane
    PS. I would be willing to send/attach the document if it
    would help someone.

    I started the import just before going to bed last night and
    it was still running when I killed it this morning. It did not
    error with the message you got but I did get a Microsoft Word
    message:
    The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
    Make sure the application is properly installed.
    The import was stuck on the graphics under Metadata Format. I
    don't know if the callouts you had created in Word were the cause
    but you cannot have those in RoboHelp HTML which is going to give
    you a problem as the document is heavy on them.
    Back to the import. Is there something in your document that
    is pointing to a server? Is the template on a server or is your
    normal template on a server instead of being local?
    Also I notice you said RoboDemo. Did you mean that?

  • Multiple Portal Authentication when closing Word document

    Hi all,
    We are on EP6 SP2 Patch4 HF7 and CM HF6.  When closing a MS Word document accessed from the KM Repository multiple Portal authentication popups appear.  This only happens to Word documents.  Other documents like Excel, Powerpoint, pdf etc. close without any popups.
    The problem only happens when going through the IISProxy filter.
    Does anybody have any ideas ?
    Thanks
    Jose

  • SharePoint prompting for password when saving word document

    Saving a word document back to SharePoint always prompts for credentials.
    I am the administrator for a SharePoint farm. We have enabled kerberos, and added the portal to the intranet zone in Internet Explorer by group policy. Most of the time this limits the amount of password prompts our customers see (including viewing the portal
    in a browser, and opening documents); however, we are still getting the prompt for credentials when trying to save a word document back to SharePoint.
    Here are some details: - SharePoint 2010 - Word 2010 - Kerberos enabled - Portal added to intranet zone in IE - Checkbox for passing automatic credentials enabled
    Can anyone help? Is there something I've missed? Is this prompt just unavoidable?

    Hi,
    Internet Explorer uses the Web Client service when you use Internet Explorer to access a
    WebDAV resource. The Web Client Service uses Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) to perform the network I/O to the remote host.  WinHTTP sends user credentials only in response to requests that occur on a local intranet site. 
    However, WinHTTP does not check the security zone
    settings in Internet Explorer to determine whether a Web site is in a zone that lets credentials be sent automatically.
    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press
    ENTER.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
    On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
    Multi-String Value.
    Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
    On the Edit menu, click Modify.
    In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click
    OK.
    Note   You can also type a list of URLs in the
    Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
    Exit Registry Editor.
    After this registry entry is created, the WebClient service will read the entry value. If the client computer tries to access a URL that matches any of the expressions in the list,   the user credential will be sent successfully to authenticate
    the user, even if no proxy is configured.
    Note You have to  restart the WebClient service after you modify the registry.

  • Duplicated styles when opening Word document: Heading 1 A, Heading 1 AA,etc

    I'm trying to get rid of Word and all the Windows in my office.
    But when I import a Word document into Pages, it will duplicate the Styles. Heading 1 becomes Heading 1 AND Heading 1 A.
    If I happen to export the Pages document to Word and back to Pages, then Heading 1 AA will appear (and I suppose that each time another one would appear: AAA, AAAA, AAAAA, until the style drawer explodes or something).
    The problem is that styles act funny when this happens (character sizes are not correctly applied, for instance) and it is not acceptable in an office environment.
    But maybe there is a simple solution to this.
    If you have any ideas why this happens please help. This happens with docs created originally in Word and also with a new document created from Pages too.
    Thanks!

    Peter, as you mentioned it I went to check Bean out, but it is not a full replacement for Word, which is what we are looking for. Looks interesting as a light editor, though. Thanks.
    I discovered how to get rid of the A ... AA styles simply by deleting them, Pages asks which style to use as a replacement, so I can manually fix the duplication, but it is impossible to do this every time and for every style (we have documents with dozens of styles). Moreover it is a productivity killer.
    Again, I suspect I'm not the only person in the world with this. It happens every time for every conversion (even if I create a new Pages document from a blank template). Is there a way to avoid this?
    Thanks!

  • OLE error when opening word document

    Hi,
    I have a form that allows update of word documents stored in blob fields in the database.
    The form works fine. except that if I open and update a document that has a footer and then save the document back into the database without the footer, it is no longer possible to open it.
    Can anyone help?
    Sometimes I get FRM 40922 : An OLE error occurred 0x80004005
    Otherwise when I click on the icon nothing happens.
    Thank you
    Michael

    I can avoid this problem by leaving the footer and returning to the main document view before saving the document.

  • Inconsistent Behavior When Displaying Word Document

    I use the following code to display an OrdDoc object on a web page using a servlet. When the object is a Word document and it is being displayed for the first time, the Word application handles the document. The second time it is displayed, the IE browser plug-in handles the document. Can you tell me why this is so? How can I get the Word document to just display in the IE browser everytime? Image objects are consistently displayed in the browser. Thank you.
    OrdDoc ordDoc = (OrdDoc)rset.getORAData(1,(ORADataFactory)OrdDoc.getORADataFactory());
    OrdHttpResponseHandler handler = new OrdHttpResponseHandler(actionRequest.getHttpRequest(),actionRequest.getHttpResponse());
                   handler.sendDoc(ordDoc);

    The ORDDoc type will not be able to recognized the WORD document and set the mimetype attribute correctly. Thus when you populate the object you should set the mimetype attribute yourself using the setMimeType() method of ORDDoc.
    When the object is fetched and sent on by the HttpResponseHandler, the handler will use the mimetype setting to set that field in the Response header. This should help browsers to handle the content correctly.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes when placing Word document

    Hi,
    I'm having a real problem placing a Word document into InDesign CS4. It crashes every time! I have found that if I disable the "import inline graphics" it successfully places the document. but enabling that option crashes InDesign.
    I've tried saving as RTF, and even doing a simple copy-paste but the result is the same: InDesign crashes.
    If you have an idea please let me know!
    Thanks,
    Ariel

    Yes sir! The Word file that crashes CS4 is placed successfully in CS2. The saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind!
    The only disadvantage is that each chapter is a separate file and in CS2 these need to be placed separately, whereas in CS4 (if it worked ;-)) they could all be placed in one go.
    Thanks Jongware,
    Ariel

  • Error when importing Word documents

    Hallo
    I'm using RoboHelp 8 from the Technical Communication Suite.
    When I try to import a doc/docx file for my HTML help I get the message: 'The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.'
    Actually I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed in its default path.
    Do I have to set some particular options? Some days ago I had my PC replaced with a new one and I had to reinstall all of my programs. I think I've missed some settings.
    Thank you

    Strange
    I was working with Office 2010 and RH8 almost without problems with my old PC. Maybe the colleagues from our EDP department have installed a different version of MS Word (a newer service pack?).
    I'll try to modify the registry as suggested in http://forums.adobe.com/message/2991411
    thank you

  • Why would iTunes launch when a Word document is opened?

    iTunes launches when I open a Word document. This has never happened before but I just migrated all my data from my old iBook to my new iBook; this only happens on the new iBook never on the old one. Would the data migration have anything to do with this? Any ideas how to stop it?
    Thanks!

    Does iTunes open when you double-click a Word document?
    If so, the Finder associates the wrong application with those files.
    To fix it, select a word document in the Finder and Get Info (command-I)
    Expand 'Open With:' if necessary and select Microsoft Word as the application to open with.
    If it's not in the list, select 'Other...' and navigate to Microsoft Word.
    Then click on the 'Change All...' button to associate all Word documents with Microsoft Word.
    Hope this helps.

  • Automatically creating fields when distilling Word document

    I have a large number of Word documents that are periodically published in pdf format. These documents contain several fields requiring user input. Is there a way I can tell Acrobat to automatically convert a Word field into a pdf field? Using the form wizard doesn't work for me as there are far too many potential fields and removing those is quite tedious. Some of these documents are updated and published on a regular basis, and inserting all the necessary fields is taking too much time. My only other option at this point is going back to Word forms, and I really would rather not...

    If the form wizard doesn't work as well as you'd like, the other option would be to make your revisions to the Word document, create a new PDF, open the old one and use "document>Replace pages. This will replace the background pages and leave the existing form fields intact. You will of course have to move them around if they're position in the updated content has changed but it's still easier than replacing all of them every time you update a document.

  • Losing hyperlinks when linking word documents

    We use RoboHelp version 9.0
    Project description
    We have a Parent project with 7 child projects. Each child project has, on an average, 40 files.
    The files in each child project are linked to word documents. Every time we have updates to content, we update the word file and click Update in RH project.
    All the child projects are merged in the parent project via TOC.
    On completion of updates in the individual projects, we generate the individual projects and then generate the parent project for final output.
    Our project structure is like this, where each circle represents a folder.
    The issue
    The issue we face is about See also links.
    Each word file in almost all projects has “See also” topics without links in the word document. However, we hyperlink them with .htm files (within the child project and between child projects) in RH.
    Because the links are set in RH and the content updates are made in linked word files, whenever we modify the word files and update them in RH, the links are lost. We need to manually go to each file in RH and re-hyperlink them. Although we select the “Preserve modifications to this file” before we save in RH, the links are still lost.
    In addition to losing the hyperlinks, a duplicate file gets created for each file in backend. We have to manually delete each file.
    My questions
    Are we doing something incorrect in this process? Losing links and file duplication - is this because of incorrect folder structure? Is there a way we can prevent it? We tried linking See also topics in word files itself, but since the hyperlinks have an absolute path and not relative path, we lose the links if the project is placed in another computer.
    The total count of files in the complete project is around 500. We tried having a single project rather than merged projects. But we are not sure if we can multi-author a single project. We use SVN as a source control tool and apparently RH does not support it.
       3.  Is linking the word files the best practice? My organization insists on maintaining word documents.

    According to this, Rh is compatible with SVN.

  • Color Handling when saving Word document as PDF, containing CMYK TIFF image?

    What is the proper procedure for creating PDFs from Word documents that contain a CMYK TIFF image? I have created a company logo by exporting an AI file with Pantone colors as a TIFF (with a CMYK color profile, since there is the intention of printing). Since it is a logo, color consistency is important and the utmost priority. I will be needing to insert this file into a Word document that will then be converted into a PDF.
    I've read somewhere that Word automatically converts images to RGB, and also have come across potential problems of colors being changed in the final PDF through unmanaged color handling and conversions. I figured instead of running around in circles trying to find the best solution, I'd post on here. Is this procedure possible? What is the best way to do this without changing my original color profile or CMYK values of the logo being used?
    This PDF has the intention of being placed online for offices to print/publish.
    Thanks!

    Though actually, let's take a step back -- why do you want to use CMYK? Most offices won't be using PostScript printers, so the CMYK will be converted to RGB for printing. For publishing - do you know the required CMYK profile to use for all possible publishing scenarios? Properly tagged RGB is generally considered the way to deal with this in modern workflows not targeted at a specific press. But still probably not with Word!

  • Unidentified error when combining word documents on Acrobat 8 standard

    One of our users is currently running Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Standard.  Whenever she tries to combine multiple word files into one PDF, each file in the list will say "Error (file skipped)".  The Status will say "PDF conversion process failed, please correct the error and retry."  Afterwards I get an error of "No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error."  Printing to the PDF printer from Word works just fine, however this problem only seems to occur when combining word files.  I have logged onto the PC as a network administrator and everything works correctly.  Any Ideas?
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    It may be as simple as updating Acrobat. I think you needed AA8.1.3 to work with OFFICE 2007. Try to use the create PDF selection under the Acrobat menu in WORD (this is PDF Maker) and see if you can create a PDF. If there is no Acrobat menu, then PDF Maker is not active in WORD and is the basic problem you are having. PDF Maker has to be working for the Acrobat function you are using to be useful.

  • Removing Autonumbering when importing Word Documents

    I am attempting to import a Word document into RoboHelp8 for HTML Help and want to eliminate the numbers used in the Word Heading styles as well as the numbers imported as text in numbered lists.  I am much more familiar with the import of FrameMaker files--for which there is an "Ignore autonumbering" option in the style conversion settings.  As for Word documents, do I have to manually remove the numbers and fix the formatting in each and every generated topic?  I'm sure it must be easier than this--am I doing something wrong?  
    ~Kim

    Hi again
    Perhaps I'm mistaken. I replied to a Kim on the HATT (Help Authoring Tools and Techniques) list on the same issue. As the question seemed the same and someone named Kim asked, I assumed it was you!
    Probably wasn't if you aren't sure what HATT is.
    Basically here is what I replied with there:
    In RoboHelp 8 you have new options with dealing with Word content. The whole dialog is different. Additionally, you used to only be able to
    import and you were done. Now you can establish a link between Word and RoboHelp. If Word changes, Bing! RoboHelp alerts you to that little fact. You then bring the changes in and update content.
    I'm guessing you have experimented with the different styling and pagination options. One thing that may trip you up is the way lists are
    handled. You may need to examine the conversion settings and click the Other category (no, not the other white meat... LOL) Try enabling the Convert Word List options.
    Perhaps experiment with the options and see what you get.
    Cheers... Rick
